It would appear so, however it depends on the strength of the acid and how long is allowed to stay in the cup.

This answer isn't derived from the scientific method mind you, but through casual observation. A McDonald's coffee cup over a period of weeks was used as a cup for soda. After a period of time, the bottom began weeping soda.

My conclusion is that left in a Styrofoam container, the acid in soda will eventually eat through. Though the container would likely have to be reused over and over. A single use, or even for a week shouldn't damage the container unless it's left in for a long period of time.
